Perfect Once

I was perfect once, but it passed me by.
Pert breasts, skinny legs.
I made men sigh.
I was perfect once, but didn't know as
about my skinny frame,
my mother worried so.
I was perfect once as on my wedding day.
I gave him the
skinniest years I'd say.
I was perfect once, thing is I never knew.
Never felt so sexy
as I do with you.
Now that I am overflowing,
sensuous, voluptuous.
Know my sex very well,.
I can yet cast a spell.
I was perfect once, and I am still.
If you look for bones,
there are plenty in 
a graveyard!

Thank you Ilene. Society's attitude to sexual attractiveness has always puzzled me. When booking pregnant women at ante natal clinics, it is plain to see that size did not matter to those men. Yet, I still get a pang of (delicious) guilt when I did into my Ben and Gerry. Corsets are my new best friend.
